No. 3 LSU defeated No. 2 Alabama 46-41 in a wild game by the SEC on Saturday afternoon in Tuscaloosa. The Crimson Tide's perfect season is over, along with a winning streak of eight games over LSU and a winning streak of 31 games at home.

Tigers quarterback Joe Burrow completed 31 of his 39 passes for 393 yards and three touchdowns. One of those gaps was running back Clyde Edwards-Heller, who ran for 103 yards and three of his own.

At first it looked like LSU could get away with the game. The Tigers jumped 1

0-0 to 33-13 at the end of the first half. But Alabama came back.

The tide of quarterback Tua Tagawiloa led 70+ yards long drives to the back to bring his team to six early in the fourth quarter. Alabama's defense, which shut out LSU in the third quarter, could not continue its dominance in the fourth.

Both teams exchange touchdowns for the last four possessions. An 85-yard touchdown pass from Tagovailoa to DeVonta Smith led the Tide to five, 46-41, with 1:21 left in the game. Still, Alabama was unable to regain the kick attempt, and the Tigers missed the clock in four plays.

With the win LSU took sole possession of first place in the SEC West 5-0. Alabama is one game back at 5-1.

Pregame – 3:25 p.m.

Historically, Alabama has a 53-25-5 edge over LSU all the time. But this time, the insults of both teams bear little resemblance to the last 124 years of rivalry. The Tigers and Crimson Tide average over 500 yards and 40 points per game. The Tide are 82-7 at home under Nick Saban, but the Tigers have three top 10 wins and are looking to stray from their past and beat Alabama for the first time since 2011.

The Crimson Tide and Tigers kicks off at Bryant-Denis Stadium at 3:30 PM ET on Saturday, November 9th. You can watch the game on CBS.

LSU Vs. Alabama: Preview

The hiring of Ed Orgeron at LSU is an era marked by prosperity in Baton Rouge, leading the Tigers to three consecutive New Years Six Cups and Finals 2018, which was the highest ranking program of 2011.

This 2011 season is remarkable as the Tigers have spent the last nine weeks of the regular season number one in the ballot box. This is also the last time LSU has beaten Alabama. The Tigers won this battle, a 9-6 overtime solution through defensive stagnation. But the Crimson Tide No. 2 won the war – a 21-0 victory over LSU in a rematch of the 2012 BCS National Championships – and every subsequent match since then.

Ann # 1 vs. # 2 poll with ESPN "GameDay" College in attendance. There is a known draft law, but these teams have little resemblance to the units that occupied the field eight years ago. Prior to the start of the 2009 season, Alabama (232) and LSU (287) ranked first and second, respectively, in interruptions. Following the game in early November 2011, Les Miles – Orgeron's predecessor – now coaches across the Mississippi River and both teams have embraced a new identity, gaining recognition for high-octane crimes rather than suffocating defenses

In other words, be prepared for some possible fireworks. Yes, this is an SEC football game and no, this is not a bad footprint.

LSU averaged less than 536 yards per game, while Alabama scored just over 506. On any given night, every team is capable of being well equipped to blow up the scoring. In a total of 16 matches, only one team has ever managed to score at least 35 points. Contagious offensive success can largely be attributed to the skillful play of quarterback Joe Barrow and Toa Tagawayloa in addition to multiple players on both sides.

Burrow and Tagawiloa combined for 57 touchdowns against just six interceptions. Roles that were previously designed as game managers at LSU and Alabama have become leadership positions, integral catalysts for their respective teams. It also doesn't hurt to have the flexibility or explosive athleticism on this side of the ball.

Justin Jefferson of LSU and Devonta Smith of Alabama headline deep receiving corps, leading their respective teams in yards and touchdowns. What really stands out is that they are two of eight receivers between teams averaging at least 10 yards per catch (min. 20 receptions). It's the ability to generate missed decisions and accelerate the disks that make these violations so dangerous.

Amid the noise and attention to this game and everything that he has to offer, it's important not to lose sight of the fact that this may be the first of two meetings between LSU and Alabama. While they both reside in the Western Division of the SEC and could not meet in a conference match, the College Football Playoff rematch is not ruled out. In the original Top 25 of CFP LSU is No. 2, while Alabama is third.

LSU vs. Alabama: Forecast

So, who has the advantage on Saturday? Both teams have an advantage over the other.

Alabama's closest game of the season was a 19-point win over Texas A&M. LSU has its fair share of Roma and Roots with a few closer calls on its resume. The difference is who the Tigers played with or who they won against. LSU dropped three top-10 teams in 2019 with a combined 24 points.

The Crimson Tide may not have experienced as a scary schedule this season, but no team plays better at home than Alabama. His last home loss was in September 2015, a series of 31 straight wins at Bryant-Denny Stadium and 48 of 49 games. Alabama's .833 home win rate since the opening of Bryant-Denis in 1929 is currently the best among any FBS team. The tide is a stunning 82-7 at home to Nick Saban.
